Holy heartstrings! Friday is just the kind of reluctant heroine to speak to my soul. Friday’s origin story is complex AF. As a half kitsune demon, half human woman bound to the Book of Fate, Friday has carried the painful burden of that responsibility throughout her life, and it has cost her nearly everything. But she is so much stronger than anyone might expect, and it is immensely satisfying to cheer her on and watch her grow into her power.
The world of Ralynn Kimie’s Infernal Artifacts collection is so intricately constructed I could spend ages exploring. I love the attention to detail that goes into the multicultural representation across realms. And Friday’s story ups the ante with added neurodiversity representation. This is book 4 in the Infernal Artifacts Collection but book 1 of the Lady Luck series, so you do not have to read the whole collection to understand Friday’s story. That said, I do believe the other books, particularly Dioscuri, enhance the experience. I highly recommend Lady Luck to anyone who loves strong women, morally grey heroes, and second chances. I can’t wait to see where this story will go next!
(I received an early copy in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.)
This is the first book i've read in the series and I now have to go read the other 3 because this book was so addictive. I felt bad for all the stuff this poor girl has been through but I like that by the end of the book shes trying to heal herself.
Thankyou Netgalley and publishers for the approval.
Once again, Ralynn has created a world in which you can fully immerse yourself into. With elements coming in from the previous "Infernal Artifacts" novels, these make it all the more interesting- however, you can still read this as a standalone!
Our FMC 'Friday' has had a pretty tough go of life in general, and now that she is older and out on her own, it's not getting any easier. The Eleven King wants the Book of Fate, so after her best friend and love interest tries to kill her, it's no wonder she is on the run and wants out.
This is a story of self growth, coming to terms with every decision made along with the things we can't control. Ralynn has done an amazing job highlighting the struggles of life along with our attitude towards it and how this makes all the difference. Staying in the 'Infernal Artifacts' world, she is continually surpising me with the creativity and complexity of these stories and her ability to interweave them all.

Das Buch ist einfach nur UNGLAUBLICH. ICH LIEBE LIEBE LIEBE ES!! Danke für das Rezensionsexemplar!!!
This has become one of my absolute favorites from Ralynn Kimie. I think it's definitely my current favorite of the Infernal Artifacts collection. First off, Friday is such a well developed and relatable character especially if you're neurodivergent, and even if you're not, the way her inner workings are described are just perfect. Her struggles and growth were a treat to witness and really got me in my feels, as I've had similar struggles. I also really enjoyed the pacing between Friday fighting both external and internal battles. The return of characters from the previous books was wonderful to see and the new characters, I fell so hard for and can't wait for more of them.
*Lady Luck* by Ralynn Kimie is an enthralling blend of dark fantasy, romance, and high-stakes action that pulls you in from the first page. The story follows a lonely writer on the run, burdened by an ancient artifact hidden within her, as she faces not only an Elven King's wrath but also the return of a former lover who betrayed her. Their reunion is as tense as it is magnetic, bringing buried secrets and sizzling chemistry to the surface.
Kimie’s world-building is rich and immersive, seamlessly weaving paranormal elements into human history. The Infernal Artifact at the heart of the story adds an eerie, suspenseful twist, making you question what’s truly at stake—both for the characters and humanity itself. The mix of emotional vulnerability, betrayal, and reluctant alliances keeps you hooked.
If you enjoy stories with morally complex characters, dangerous magic, and a dash of simmering romance, *Lady Luck* is a fantastic read. It’s a gripping entry in *The Infernal Artifacts Collection* that will leave you eager to uncover more of its dark and fascinating world.
This was so awesome! I really loved the cover and kept seeing the series on goodreads. I was ecstatic to receive this ARC. It was a great plot and kept you interested while trying to figure out the pieces to the story. Quick read. Very entertaining
So good!!
Did I read the previous books before reading this one? No.
Was I able to follow along and not feel lost? Yes!
Will I be going back and reading the previous books? ABSOLUTELY!
I absolutely adored this book. From the explanations of Friday's experiences with autism and inattentive ADHD all the way to how she basically saved the world.
This world that Kimie has built is really cool and complex and I love that she has pulled from her own experiences.
This book read really quickly, and I found myself easily getting lost in the actions of our characters. This is also very clearly a set up for more to come. While there were some resolutions, we definitely have a LOT more questions that I can't wait to get the answer to!
Overall: recommend
Spice: some romance, no spice
Ralynn Kimie does another wonderful entry in the Infernal Artifacts series. The concept worked overall and was engaged with the artifact. The characters had that charm that I was looking for and enjoyed the overall feel of this. I enjoyed the interconnected element to this book and enjoyed how it uses the fantasy element.
